Finally a Picture

It may not seem like it, but I've actually been trying to find something that accurately describes my feelings toward this year. I've written about being angry and frustrated and disillusioned, but those are just words. I'm not usually one to diminish the power of words, but me saying that I'm disillusioned and frustrated can mean a lot of things to different people. I've been looking for something more... descriptive. After this week... it finally came to me.



I've had a persistent headache, I've felt painful pressure behind my eyes... I think the kid might be onto something. Just to be sure, I continued my research. I found the following and I have to say, it fits how I'm feeling perfectly.



So, Arnold, you are wrong. I've been repressing my feelings and as a result, I have a school induced tumor. I really hate my life right now. This is the first time in over six months when my anxiety has gotten the better of me. I have a lot going on right now and I don't feel like being trapped in a classroom when I could be getting the things that are stressing me out, out of my way. The anxiety is also causing me to get frustrated and angry faster. I mostly just want to be by myself but that's virtually impossible. In seven days a lot of that stress will be gone. Three weeks after that I'll have a much needed break.

Yet another shitty day. Cannot wait for this week to end.

Lauren.
